Abstract Today, with the spread of autonomous functions in vehicles, the role
accountability for causing accidents is emphasized. Self-guided
functions work in certain traffic situations, but accidents happen, and,
therefore, the following article presents an analysis of the issue. Its
purpose is to show that vehicles with self-drive functionality do not
provide the driver's level of safety that vehicle manufacturers suggest.
In this article, four recent events and an analysis whether these
accidents could have been avoided a human driver or how they could have
happened with appropriate self-drive function. In each of the
investigated cases, vehicles equipped with self-drive function are
involved. Based on the evaluation and assessment of accidents,
conclusions are drawn whether current self-propelled vehicles provide
the safety level that drivers and society expect from these vehicles.
The reconstruction of the accident process is illustrated with the help
of a vehicle simulation program, with the resultant parameters being
given a special emphasis, in particular to the avoidance of the
accident. | ||
